I honestly don't see the need for language censorship. Proper education and parental guidance should be enough in the case of children and in the case of adults, "being a grownup" should offer enough shielding to make exposure to such language a completely painless experience.
censorship?? who is talking about censorship?? how exactly is having an option not too see something, censoring anyone from saying anything??
the single most important factor regarding bad language, sexual innuendo, and even discussion around offensive material, isn't the words themselves, it is in the where, the why, and the context of use. by your reasoning, would it be ok to walk into a police station and start swearing at the desk clerk, or into a school and start talking in sexual innuendo, or as a white person walk into a Harlem and start randomly using racial slurs towards the inhabitants? would that not be exposing people to language? would it be a painless experience?
both my daughters know this, and have done since they became teens. if they are in the right environment, and there is a valid context in which an expletive suits being used, they can do.. not because its edgy, or pushing boundaries, but because it is the right place at the right time, in the right company, and most important of all.. the right context. that is 'being a grown up'. because swearing for the sake of swearing, or to be edgy, pushing the limit, or to simply get a reaction and annoy.. that is childish, its immature, and as a grown up, i don't need to, or wan't too see and/or hear that. especially not in a game that has naming conventions and a pegi7 rating.
but i do understand the nature of the juvenile mind, which is why i'm asking for a filter.. in essence i'm saying 'ok fine, kids will be kids and out of sight is out of mind' that to me is a much better solution than any other, and totally benign, but if that isn't an option then there are only the draconian means already in game.
again.. for the umpteenth time.. i am not forcing anything on anyone.. or trying to censor anyone. i really wish people who are telling me i am stupid or wrong in asking for 'a filter' could see the total hypocrisy in their words.. i'm saying can we have an option to avoid things we just don't want to see, and their saying 'no, exposure is good for you, you should just accept it, it cant hurt you' and in their minds that is totally rational.. you do realise, that is the attitude and mentality of the radical? exposure to a thing should always be through choice, not dictated too, or through coercion.
